So some good news about America [View all]

[Jk23]

I was listening to a podcast from The Economist regarding the British prison crisis and they're pointing out that there were plenty of other European countries also suffering from horrible overcrowding and horrible prison conditions such as France Etc.

They then went on to talk about two countries that do prisons correctly and they started with the Netherlands which surprises no one and then they said that America has done very well over the last 10 years and is showing the way to Europe on how to run their penal system.

The introduction of drug courts and the reduction of overcrowding in prisons Etc so and so forth.

Now America is much richer than say England or France so they have more money to spend on things but either way it is nice to hear that we're doing something better and leading the way in the Civilized world.
